Definitions
- the present invention relates to a liquid crystal display (hereinafter referred to as an LCD) and method of driving the same, in particular, to a LCD having a plurality of pixels in which the adjacent or "contiguous" pixels are supplied with different gray voltages for the same gray scale, thereby resulting in a wider viewing angle for the LCD.
- an LCD liquid crystal display
- An LCD includes an LCD cell having two LCD panels with electrodes and signal lines, such as gate lines and data lines, and liquid crystal material between.
- the LCD has a backlight unit for providing light to the LCD cell, and it has driving circuit boards and other peripheral circuitry.
- a thin film transistor (hereinafter referred to as an TFT) LCD uses TFTs as switching elements, and it has a plurality of pixels each having a TFT with a gate, a source and a drain, a storage capacitor and a liquid crystal capacitor, as well as gate lines and data lines. Each pixel displays an image according to a data voltage applied to the TFT.
- the driving circuit boards contain a gate driver, data drivers, voltage producing circuits and control circuits.
- the gate driver is connected to the gate lines, and it applies the gate voltages through the gate lines to the gates of the TFTs, thereby activating the TFTs according to the signals from the control circuit.
- the data driver is connected to the data lines and applies the data voltages through the data lines to the sources of the TFTs to make the pixel display an image according to the signals from the control circuit.
- the gate driver and the data drivers are supplied with voltages from a voltage producing circuit. The drivers and the voltage producing circuit are controlled by the control circuit.
- the LCD particularly in a twisted nematic (hereinafter referred to as TN) mode, has a narrow viewing angle, and the optical transmission rate through the LCD is a function of the viewing angle. This dependence is due to the characteristics of the liquid crystal molecule and it is greater in the upward and downward direction than in the left to right direction, causing the asymmetrical viewing characteristics. In order to achieve a wider viewing angle, several approaches have been suggested.
- Kaneko et al. discloses several methods for obtaining wide viewing angle in "Wide-Viewing-Angle Improvements for AMLCDs", SID 93 DIGEST, pp. 265-268. Suggested improvements include film compensated TN cells, pixel divided TN cells, multi-domain TN cells, and TN cells using subpixels.

- the sub-capacitors CLC1, CLC2 and CLC3 have the first, the second and the third transparent electrodes 5, 15 and 25 respectively as one electrode and the common electrode 10 as the other electrode.
- CLC1, CLC2, and CLC3 have different values of capacitance, because the capacitance of a capacitor is inversely proportional to the distance between the electrodes of the capacitor and is proportional to the area of the electrodes.
- control capacitors CS2 and CS3 connected in series to the sub-capacitors CLC2 and CLC3, respectively, act as voltage dividers and provide control voltages to the subpixels.

- the LCD also includes first and second means for selecting one voltage among the gray voltages of the first and the second groups respectively according to a data signal.
- the LCD further includes a plurality of first and second data lines connected to the first and the second selecting means respectively, and to the pixels, which are arranged in a matrix form.
- the first and the second data lines may be aligned with the columns of pixels, so that when a pixel is connected to the first data line, the adjacent or contiguous pixels are connected to the second data lines.

- the data voltages from the data drivers 10 and 20 are supplied to the pixels in i-th row through the data lines D1, D2, . . . , Dj, . . . and E1, E2, . . . , Ej, . . . . That is, the lower data driver 10 supplies the data voltages to the pixels through the first data lines D1, D2, . . . , Dj, . . . and the upper data driver 20 supplies the data voltages to the pixels through the second data lines E1, E2, . . . , Ej, . . . .

- the second data line Ej transmits the data voltage to the pixel (i,j) and Ej+1 transmits the data voltage to the pixel (i,j+1). Since the first data line Dj and the second data line Ej+1 are connected to the pixels (i,j) and (i,j+1) in i-th row respectively, they transmit the data voltages to the pixels (i,j) and (i,j+1). However, the first data line Dj+1 and the second data line Ej are not connected to the pixels in i-th row, so they do not transmit the data voltages to those pixels.
- the pixels in i-th row connected to the first data lines D1, D2, . . . , Dj, . . . , i.e. the pixels in the odd columns, are supplied with the data voltages from the lower data driver 10

- the pixels connected to the first data lines D1, D2, . . . , Dj, . . . , i.e. the pixels in the even columns are supplied with the data voltages from the lower data driver 10
- the pixels connected to the second data lines E1, E2, . . . , Ej, . . . , i.e. the pixels in the odd columns are supplied with the data voltages from the upper data driver 20.
- the adjacent or contiguous pixels are connected to the different data lines and they receive data voltages which have different magnitudes than the voltages received by adjacent pixels for the same gray level.
- the optical transmission rate is different for adjacent pixels having the same gray level. Because there are hundreds of thousands of pixels in an LCD, it appears that there is a liquid crystal continuum having an optical transmission rate which is the average of the two different transmission rates. Therefore, the viewing angle and the range of inversion are increased.
